The new movie from Hitoshi Matsumoto, the director of 'Big Man Japan', will be getting its first Western DVD release in the UK on 15th September. The movie, which revolves around a dull salary man played by Nao Momori, who signs a 1 year contract with an exclusive club, has received a lot of praise from the festival circuit, and after 'Big Man Japan' Matsumoto's proven himself to be a director definitely worth keeping an eye on.

The club in question just so happens to be of the bondage variety, and entails various dominatrixes entering into his life on a daily basis, anytime, anywhere, of which the rules state he has to submit to. The most important clause though is that the contract can't be broken under any circumstance, so when things start getting a little too close for comfort, Momori's choice to do just that leads to increasingly drastic consequences.

I still have yet to see Matsumoto's film...ironically, for 18 years, he was the co-host of my all time favorite Japanese show, HEY! HEY! HEY! Music Champ. The series ended in 2012 :sad:

The trailer looks fun...definitely will need to see this and BIG MAN JAPAN.

The good guys at Drafthouse have picked this up for US distribution, and it'll be released on selected theaters and VOD on January 23rd.

I've attached a link to the new US trailer below, which is so NSFW that even youtube have imposed their age restriction policy on it. One thing it definitely is though is laugh out loud funny! -

I finally got around to watching this one over the festive period (there's only so many re-runs of 'Love Actually' and 'The Holiday' that I can take), so what could be more perfect post-Christmas viewing than a Japanese bondage comedy?  Check out my full review over at COF -
